The Tech Virtual is a collaborative design platform for developing museum exhibits. The best of these get installed in the Virtual Test Zone gallery at the Tech Museum of Innovation in San José, California.

Exhibit designers and contributors can add content to gallery sections and join teams to work on specific projects. Museum curators can select from content that includes exhibit concepts, working prototypes, and other media. International teams can collaborate in real-time to produce exhibits or model an entire exhibition.
